First Time Entrant | "Atomic Bungalow" | Cyd Raduchel, Carmel, IN
I love the roof Mad for Mod from My Mini Mod Pod built, and this house is simply shagadelic. I love it!

First Time Entrant | "The Red Horse Tack Shop" | Charlan Owens, Camden, NC
How cool is the red siding? I love the glass corner entrance and the window frames. Yay solar!

Honorable Mention | "Friends of the Sea Rescue, Rehab & Release" | MaryEllen Markowitz & Grandsons Zachary & Jayden | Boynton Beach, FL
This was my favorite of the Honorable Mentions. Inside is a scuba diver in one of the aquarium tanks. The water in this is fantastic.

"Greystone Villa" | Connie Campbell | Knoxville, TN
I was surprised that Connie didn't win anything. I ADORE this house inspired by Wes Christensen's Mini House 1. You really must visit her website to see the progress and all of the gorgeous interior photos www.nanasminis.com/greystone-villa.html. (She has quite an amazing collection of houses to boot).

Below are more of the 70 non-prize winning entrants that I really enjoyed.

"Golf & Gulp" | Debi Woods | Crysler, ON Canada.
Mini Golf for a mini contest, clever. I love the wheels on hole 2. I would definitely have a burger here.

"Museum of Miniatures" | Claudia Heckart | Allyn, WA
A house in a house in a house. Too cute.

"Revolution Avenue, Thorny Coast, Maine" | Kelly Erickson | Wilmington, DE
This kit was already long, but Kelly add two more structures to it. It's so long it can't even fit in one picture. LOVE IT!

"Jedi Knight Academy" | Yvonne Sinclair | Cool, CA

With all of this Star Wars talk, I had to share this one. And Yvonne is from Cool, how cool.

"The Elversonville Inn and Auction House" | Susan Elverson | Perkiomenville, PA
Holy smokes! 6 stories!?!?! That is a ton of work. I think this dollhouse is taller than me.

I love the Black and White house that Manor Minis and More built out of the Fascination Station kit, but Sandra didn't finish until January, so she missed the contest. Her house is so cool, I had to share. I love the ELF Miniatures kitchen, and Amazing Miniatures desk. I love the fabric on the couch and chair by Kris Compas.

Hey Melissa, I know I'm planning to sell mine after I get it up to snuff. I just don't have the space for it. I'm guessing others will sell too. I'd keep an eye on ebay for sure. But I'm guessing that due to the size they will be local pick up only as Mad for Mod's Atomic Bungalow is.

Hi Jackie, thanks for stopping by. Yeah that swimming pool is really cool. Modern and contemporary styles are definitely a smaller subset of the miniatures community, but I think we are growing. I was surprised at how many contemporary and modern houses were built in this contest. Very inspiring. :D

It was cool to see your house in their catalog. I was quite the braggat about it "I know the lady who made this one..."--ha ha! I am so impressed with the great builds from this kit. I would love to have a few of them to try out some mini scenes.

The downside of the challenge is there is no info on websites or contact info for anyone. I'm guessing someone on the HBS/ Miniatures.com Forums might know here, so you could post there.

Or you could contact Ann, who runs "Dollhouses For Kids Battling Cancer". That is the organization that Michelle donates her houses to. Ann is on facebook here:https://www.facebook.com/DollhouseMiniatures/posts/10150640807317243
